History lesson
Quiz Writer
Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.
Did you know?
A Whitehall II cohort study found that boredom could indicate that death was around the door. The study was conducted through a questionnaire and included people between the ages of 35 and 55. Boredom seemed to be the most prevalent among young women in the lower-income group.
While the questionnaire was conducted from 1985 to 1988, the results still trickled through until April 2009. Alarmingly, nearly 35% of those who indicated high levels of boredom died by the follow-up exam. Some of the shared factors included low health, low levels of activity, and low employment grades.
Don't bore yourself to death! It's time to kick things up a notch and work that side hustle to move into a higher pay scale. Ditch the car or train ride and dust off ye olde bicycle, and for the love of a good chill, get a hobby or join an activity group that adds meaning to your life.

Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
